Magos Esus Io Pan (V2)

[BeardMonk]

Afternoon

My recent trip to India gave me some time to re-jig my Ad-Mech warband.

Changes reflect the updated Armoury list, the comments made by you lovely people and a recent lucky E-bay purchase!!.

Feedback please

----
Magos Esus Io Pan - Magos Esus Io Pan is an aging reclusive Magos who dedicated his life to resurrecting and repairing some of the imperiums most treasured, valuable and long lost machines.  A total devotee of the Machine God, he views the Emperor of Terra with some contempt, seeing the Golden Throne as only as another of the Machine Gods creations. 

The path of Magos Esus Io Pan changed with the interrogation of wreak of the Martial Nox.  The devastated spirit of this Warhound Titan spoke of the "Hall Of Words", a virtual construct where "all knowledge could be found, including that which will bring forth the Machine God".  The though of this wonderous construct falling into the hands of a less devoted individual, Magos Esus Io Pan consulted the archives for years, piecing together clues as to the location of the Hall.  Armed with all the information he could find, the Magos gathered a few loyal followers and headed out into the worlds on his quest for the Hall.

Seems like a good, restrained warband to me.  Any models?

[BeardMonk]

Any models?

Yes.  Im currently rebuilding the Magos due to aquireing a Tech priest Tezlar from Ebay.

The rest are base coated.  Im just sorting out the colours/painting.  Should be finished soon.  Pics will be up don't you worry

[Simeon Blackstar]

Ooh, that was a lucky win!  I'll look forward to seeing him!

[Ynek]

Looks like a pretty fair and balanced warband to me.
If I were GMing, I would have no problems with them.

How come the stats are all multiples of five except three of the Forge Guard's?  Seems a little strange...

[Inquisitor Cade]

I still think that the mental stats are a bit high for the first two characters, but then, I made that point for version one and made my arguments known, so I won't bother with it beyond stating my opinion.

Unless we are to take Nemain being not very intelligent literally, so that he can be anywhere up to quite intelligent I don't think the Sg is appropriate. Assuming that by 'not very intelligent' you mean actually quite thick, it doesn't make sense for him to have an above average Sg.

Otherwise though, I really do like these guys. The kit is exciting enough to bee admech without being OTT and the specific motivation driving the group is a very nice touch.
